What about a ham radio license?
To use a ham radio, you do need a license. You might think that you can skip this part and use the ham radio only in an emergency but you really need to get your license. You don’t want to be learning how to use your ham radio during an emergency and if you use it during normal times without a license, you can get into trouble.
Getting a license is pretty easy. You will need to study some materials and take a test – but you no longer need to learn morse code as ham radio old timers needed to do.
